create an offline TX ready to broadcast to an address you already own, and give it to a trusted friend. I don't understand the particulars, but it shouldn't involve private keys, but public information - correct?

If the authorities wish to seize, your friend broadcasts the tx while you claim you gave the private key to officer Smith while in custody.

Easy, something like twilio to grab all SMS messages, and react on either any message being sent, or a specific message being sent. I guarantee you someone in jail can find a way for someone to send a text.

Looks like you didn't read OP carefully.

I know there are already a nice set of solutions, which include at least:
[...]
- Pre-signed transaction "bombs" that an accomplice can trigger on a "jailed man switch".

Any idea that does not implicate a "trusted 3rd party", now ?
Just you, your fat wallet, and some people determined to gain access to said wallet.


After the last seizures of "wallets" from authorities, I have been wondering about how to prevent them from extracting the passphrase through chemicals and/or torture.

I know there are already a nice set of solutions, which include at least:
- Multi-signing
- Hidden cold wallets
- Pre-signed transaction "bombs" that an accomplice can trigger on a "jailed man switch".

Can you explain me more detailed ?
My boss wants to know more about this methods.

Lurk more, this is supposed to be a serious thread.
